This guy is part of a triggered event involving a quest. The quest starts from a note found in one of the hives.

Come prepared! It took us 35 level 60's to take this down. I can guess this can take 20-25 if taken by an organized guild instead of a pickup group.

He hits between 1000-3000 dmg, and has a VERY LARGE radius 300 pt AE that is cast every 20 seconds or so. We think it's nature damage based. His mana is drainable with enough mana stings.

He dropped nothing for loot. Semi disappointing since 35 people came to help and only a few were able to complete their quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

my guild and i (about 35 of us) took him down on the 2nd try. DONT DONT DONT try and drain his mana because his mana pool is too large, something like 200,000 mana. His mana goes to 0 at the beginning of the fight but regenerates as you fight him. his AOE does somewhere around 400-700 dmg depending on your class. im a druid and it hits me for about 400-500. and yes he does regenerate health every time someone is killed, like 1-2% of his health. he only drops the quest item if anyone was wondering. make sure you have some druids around with innervate or healers with mana potions for you will probably need them. good luck everyone :)

BTW the quest rewards for every class include a piece of leggings that give something like +25 nature resistance with some stats on it and another item for the hands if i remember.

Designed for 20 people. The fight is very simple.

Roman'Khan has 3 attacks:

Melee:
Hits pretty hard to the main tank, but slow attack speed so easy to heal.

Sand Blast:
He occasionally blasts a single target for 2500-5000 Nature damage. Most targets will be dead instantly because of his third ability too, but the graveyard is very close. As long as it doesn't hit your MT, you should be fine. Keep your MT above 80% or you won't survive this one.

Sandwave:
This is an AOE ability with a HUGE range (over 100 yards in a circle around him). It hits the entire raid for 400-800 nature damage. He will cast this roughly every 10 seconds. Don't bother healing the raid, tell everyone to use bandages or run away to eat / drink.

After the MT has some aggro, let everyone go all out with DPS, focus healing on MT alone. It's a fight designed for 20 casual people, the boss is nowhere near as difficult as an MC boss and pickup groups can easily do him. With 40, he's a pushover. Do it with 20 as intended, and you'll have a fun and challenging fight.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Piece of cake really. It was a pickup group. We wiped the first time because people were running around like headless chickens, and I got range errors trying to heal. Second time, the tanking worked properly. You need to drain his mana, and then it's just a regular by-the-book tanking-nuking-healing job. No surprises there.

Kommentar von Thottbot

On Cenarion Circle, a pickup raid group led by a Nelf Hunter named Taetra (a player with no previous expirience of any high-end content, let alone leading a raid group) killed him, and they then went on to kill Blightcaller and do the Battle for Darrowshire.

It was cake, downed him on the first try, and I think in the whole run only one person died.

The hardest part of the encounter is getting a group for it ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

From these descriptions he sounds comparable in difficulty and style of Encounter to Omen, the Seasonal Raid Boss in Moonglade.

Is that a fair assessment ?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just train him back to town.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just keep draining his mana bar and keep it under 50%. When he reaches 50% mana he does that nasty aoe thing.
Very Easy

Kommentar von Thottbot

Kiting to the Horde camp by Hive'Regal is a waste of time. Turns out he can simply kill all of the NPCs there before they get him to 90% hp. Kite to Cenarion Hold.

Kommentar von Thottbot

When this guy is killed the AQ war effort is started and you may begin grinding the mats.

Beware you new servers, the key has turned, the door swings wide.

Kommentar von Thottbot

There seems to be a lot differing information on how to beat this guy. Some groups had 20 and won, others had 40 and lost. I'll attempt to summarize how we beat him.

We tried this fight with about 30 a few weeks ago and got uttery decimated by him. His AoE was ridiculous. Our guild did some research on the guy, and came back with about 35 and some other strats to try and we beat him rather easily with only one death.

We made sure we had a group nature resist in each group, and also made sure each group had an AoE healer. We sent in a hunters pet on the Emissary and let the pet die. There's a post somewhere that this will get rid of all of Roman'khan's mana, and sure enough it did. Not sure if that's a bug, or intended, but I'll take it either way. Next the entire raid group got right on top of this guy. His AoE has a very long range and you can't range hit him and avoid the AoE. There's a theory that his AoE gets stronger the further away from him you are. The battle was going quick and pretty hectic, but no one was taking a lot of damage when we all got really close to him. I can't say if this theory was true, or if we just got really lucky with resists, but it was a world of difference from our first fight.

Other then that, we had everyone on top of the guy, putting heavy DPS on the guy with an uber main tank on him. The fight only lasted 2-3 mins and seemed fairly easy when we did all of this.

Kommentar von Thottbot

we just beat him using only 6 players. we all spread out on the road from him to the large group of guards and kited him to them. the guards killed him in about 30 seconds

Kommentar von Thottbot

Emissary is now leashed and you can't kite him to the guards in Cenarion Hold.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

We dropped him on Alleria last night after three tries. It was my first time killing a raid boss, and I think there were a lot of other raid newbies were there as well. With Blizz putting in a big chunk of content in that zone designed for solo/5-man play, the pug's for this boss are going to have a decent number of inexperienced players, at least where a raid is concerned. We had a full raid and things were a bit confusing, but the people in charge did a good job of exlpaining things and coming up with a game plan. We wiped the first two times because we were told to wait 15 seconds for the tank to get aggro, and some people had trouble counting that high. Third time was a charm, tho. His aoe was hitting me for 600 each time, and it's nature damage I believe.

Quest loot was nice, too. I haven't been to MC/BWL or most of the other big dungeons, and it was nice to get some quality gear without having to spend hours sitting in an instance and rolling dice.

What in the holy hell did they do to Emissary in the patch? Before the recent patch (late March), Emissary would do his nature puff every ten seconds or so and it would hit for about 400-500 nature dmg. Now, in the first attempt we made on him post-patch, he hits multiple people in the raid for up to 900 nature dmg, and IT CAN STACK ON ITSELF, just like how Ony's Deep Breath can actually hit you like three times as it crashes over you in a wave. Meaning half my life got wiped out in "one" puff, and he puffed again like 5 seconds later. We also found that the puff affected less people for less dmg the CLOSER we stood next to him. But even that was hardly foolproof. Guess I'll just put on my massive nature resist gear set next time! Whoopsy. Could use the pants that come from the quest...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was with a 25-man pug that downed him recently. We actually had a couple of wipes before we finally killed him, but we noticed something that might be of use to future people going after him.

The mob starts off with a full mana bar. However, the moment he fights against someone, he drains it killing them.

What we eventually figured out, and helped us with the fight, was for me to send my pet to attack him, and then I feigned the moment combat was started. The moment my pet died, and his mana bar was drained, everyone else in the raid started attacking him. We also used every mana draining affect we could keep on him to slow its regen, because he did use it to heal himself after a time if the fight was allowed to drag on.

That last fight, we managed to kill him with less only around five or six deaths, I think.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

We just killed him On Silvermoon EU 10 minutes ago

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He hurts. An average of 900 hp points on my paladin with 8000 armor... but still doable, you just need 2 healers on MT

Kommentar von Allakhazam

We took him out first pull after watchin some horde wipe a few times. Not sure exact numbers but we had about 25 total from several guilds. Got best non epic-pally boots in game (new riding boots, lol). He does a massive aoe, hit for 300 - 500 a tick and a mana drain.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

We weren't sure what it would take to kill him, since no one had done it yet, so we made a group of 20, and took him down in about 60 seconds. I'm sure it can be fairly easily done with 10 people. He has a weak AoE that does about 200 damage. I got some nice gloves for my mage for turning in the quest reward.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This guy was way weaker than we thought. A bunch of us Alliance watched on the Scarlet Crusade server see the Horde get wiped out 4 times, never taking him down, we expected a 40-man raid to take him down. When we got the full 40, we knocked him down in around 3 minutes. I'm bettin' them Hordes were sure pissed.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

he isnt very tough, took him out with a 25 man PUG raid easy.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This boss is very easy, did him with a pug 16 man. All where T1 or less.
Just make sure you are in Melee range and you will be ok.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this guy is tough, although i guess my estimate of how tough he is is pretty skewed

only time i saw him killed was a horribly disorganized alliance raid that was fighting him and another horde raid at the same time. sometimes you'd see both horde and alliance fighting him, sometimes you'd see them turn around and kill eachother. absolute chaos.
(also, this was on the first day when Silithus was crammed full of people checking it out)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hes a tough one, we did it today and ended up wipeing several times, finally got him down though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

has anyone managed to kite this guy recently? I swear he runs faster then an epic mount, very nasty peice of work.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Downed him with 13 People, ~T1/T2 equipped.
3 People died, easy encounter. Just stay close, keep tank up und DPS.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I saw him in Sith while farming and decided to take some pics. My buddy and I (well just *I* really fought too close so I got a good SS when I died, etc.).

Pic 1

Pic 2

Exact location with map - pic

His aggro range seems to be very small. I sent my pet after a mob that was really close to him and it didn't aggro right away. Not sure how far though.

I have some rather crappy gear, so I know if you have a raid buffed tank these hits will be much different, but here are the hits I took:

*Wilts me for 432 nature damage*
*Hits (pet) for 2123 (crushing)*
*Hits (pet) for 1540*
*Performs daze on me*
*Hits me for 2717 (crushing)*
*Hits me for 1865*

It was over rather fast of course ;o)

Hope to take him out one day though...

Well, for anyone who really wants an easy kill, there is a very simple way (for horde at least) to kill him... You get a warlock with a nice little imp (hunters could work too), make a priest shield him, and send the imp up to aggro Roman'khan. Make sure everyone is SOUTH of him, and let the warlock run for his life to the horde outpost people (For anyone who hasn't done Field Duty, it is the northwest part of Hive'Regal). Those elites do TONS of damage, just about 2-4k a hit, so have veryone sit back and let them do the work... He will be dead within 2 or 3 minutes. Yay for kiting! As for alliance, I really dunno anything very easy, but I suppose you could get him up to the CH guards... It is a lot better than just attacking him with the raid, what with that horrible aoe... Have fun!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

A level 60 druid and I (57 shaman at that time) were having some fun and attacked it. It hit the druid for 2k damage twice, and then hit me for 3,5k damage. We were pretty dead.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easiest boss ever lol...downed him with the full 40 just in case, and destroyed him with about 5 deaths i think... and this was with a pug...i felt really bad actually because sumone told me to switch out the current main tank, a warrior from the guild, with a more epicced out one... we really didnt need the epiced out one because he died in less than 30 seconds... fun fight though

Galderfash 60 hunter Thunderhorn

Kommentar von Allakhazam

For everyone that reads the posts below trust me when i say that there incorrect, his damage on a warlock with full dreadmist (lvl 60) with full buffs with his AoE alone was 400-500 per hit, which he does every 10 seconds or so. Holding agro with this guy is hard as taunt doesnt seem to work, the groups that beat him as you will read are lucky at most and this must be done with 30+ ppl, he has a vastly smaller amount of health then the 4 dragons, but he does far more melee damage. My only advise is to take nature potions which will absorb some of the AoE damage and attacks.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

We did this guy today with 25 people and he was super easy. Althou most of us have lots of MC gear :). He hit me with AoE for like 300 dmg. Used hunter nature aura thou

Kommentar von Allakhazam

His AOE is approximately 330. It goes off ever 10 seconds or so. We put the priests in the same groups with cloth wearers to get max effectiveness from Prayer of Healing and keep them alive.

His regeneration kicks up a lot for every death.

He's immune to taunt.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

20 men? hard to believe 10 men? no way...what kind of pansy server are you playing on? this guy is tough...we just got railed with 20 people and maybe took away 1/4 of his life...a 40 man group took him out yesterday at a fairly reasonable pace...this is a full raid boss...unless maybe you have 20 ppl completely decked out in all epic/legendary, etc., etc.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

good luck with 10 or even 20 if your not already decked out in MC/BWL loot.

his AoE has a huge range and does 900 a shot about once every 5 secs. not 200 dmg

casual my ass.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Killed this with our guild. about 30 guys in a raid, was pretty easy for bwl raidin guild. we stayed far away from the road cuz we wanted no ally´s to come and gank our asses.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just landed in SIlithus and asked just fpor fun if somebody wanted to kill him. There actually was a group which still had a place for me but they alreday had him down to 10%. I mounted up (epic) and wnted to join them as fast as possible... suddenly.. 10 sec. the screen doesn't change... when I can finally move again he is dead and I was out of reach to be abele to lot him.. argh!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm guessing this is a boss at the end of a quest? I was out in Silithus yesterday (goodbye my decent farming spot ;_; )and bearing the lag filled place of EVERYONE BEING ON THERE, I saw him yell and immediately some LFGs went out to kill him. There were about 40 of us horde (Lobster Brood was immediately out there, heh) so we all joined and took him down in like 5 minutes. Super Easy. his AOE sucked as I was getting hit for 900, then again I'm not decked out in MC gear nor do I want to take the time to go through MC a billion times so I have a "chance" at winning loot.

Anyways, Anubus looked awesome, but I was saddened he didn't drop anything. :(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Late Night Raiders made the first kill on Argent Dawn, and I was there for it. We had 22 people. While we discussed our strategy, we watched other raid groups of 8-12 each hurl themselves at him and die horribly (And a few people even tried to solo him!).

First time we essentially wiped, because a couple of our pallies had thrown judgements on him, and I guess he's bugged right now so that judgements screw his aggro up (So be careful with that).

So, second time, we didn't use judgements, and we took him down no problem. LNR does regular MC runs, but less than half of us there had any real amounts of MC gear. The rest of us (Including myself) are just tier 0 equipped.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol if what everybody says about his "weak AoE" is true then he just got a massive buff - he was doing 3k+ on his AoE and when he does it it gives him twice as much that number in mana

he's hard - we got him to 15% with 15-20 people (can't remember the exact number)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There is no point saying "Easy with 20" or "nightmare with 40", are you epic equiped, a guild group, and pick-up group, do you have raid experience?

Thinking of getting him with a guild group, 20 of us about, we are well equiped to UBRS/DM standards and get Venox/Jek bosses down in ZG fairly regularly, is this going to be doable or do we need more PCs?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He runs faster than epic mounts and hits leather wearers for up to 4k.....yeah um found the hard way.
Tried to solo, opened with an Ambush for a decent crit, then got one of my own for 3800+, dodge, dodge, hit for 1500+....you die.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's a sort of kazzak but with
- a weaker aoe
- a weak regeneration of hp when someone dies
- horde doesn't kill you because you MAKE it pop

Down on Archimonde(Eu) for the second time yesterday with a 30people raid ! With most of them Pickup ! And on first try !
You can't say he's hard, or YOU are really weak ! You can't say it's hard to keep aggro 'cause Our warrior keep it all time while the armor debuff on him has vanished because of minor debufes all clases made on him (i've said it's pickup).

Tried to kite on my mount to Cenarion Hold while also using the pet and Deterance for the last strech, but he has a hard reset radius about 200 yards before the encampment.

Next up, gonna try kiting the guards to him.

Kommentar von Xthisu

Looks to be adjusted for Classic/TBC Classic (Patch 2.5.1). We were able to easily take this down with just two of us even though he was still way above our level.
